PROMISE SATA RAID driver for ASUS P4C800 Deluxe

[Jeff]

Both the Promise SATA RAID driver that came with my
motherboard (ASUS P4C800 Deluxe), and the newest version
on the ASUS website are not certified by microsoft and I
cannot get this device working properly in Windows XP
Home. After installing the driver I get an error message
saying the device cannot start (error code 10). When the
system posts, I get a message saying that the RAID
configuration is functional. Any suggestions?

Jeff,

If you still need help...

Go to your Device Manager and upgrade the driver for your
existing SCSI/RAID controller with the Promise driver.
It should prompt you to reboot, then it will notice the
drive. You may then need to update the drive driver and
reboot again.

Good Luck

??? "Drive Driver"?

As to the warning about certification, because the WHQL process takes so
long and is so full of problems, many OEMs will release device drivers
before they are certified. The drivers you are most likely quite functional
and the same code that will be released as certified. You can generally
take the "Install anyway" button.
